Presidents play a lot of golf. Whether or not any of them is any good at golf is an open question, but pretty much every president we've ever had spends a fair amount of time on the golf course hitting golf balls down the fairway and putting on the greens. Some argue that a round of golf is a good way of conducting an active meeting and that many people think better when they are moving and so golf is preferable to sitting in a room and not getting any exercise. Also golf is one of those things that people of different ability levels can participate in without any serious incompatibiity issues since it does not require a high level of physical fitness, agility, strength, or skill in order to take a turn whacking a ball with a club. Obviously a minimal amount of skill is necessary in order to avoid embarrassing oneself, but if all one is doing is playing a friendly round of golf in order to facilitate discussion, then no worries....
